Keynote Talks:
11:30-12:00 Keynote Talk #1:
Title: “Air Interface for 5G and Beyond”

Speaker: Dr. Jianglei Ma, Huawei Canada R&D Center.

Abstract: The first release of 5G New Radio (NR) specifications (release 15) has been completed this year. This release of NR will enable enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and provide some basic ultra-low latency and high reliability (URLLC) services. Currently 5G field trials are conducted in many countries and the industry has entered the large-scale NR product development phase.  It is expected that 5G commercialization will be available in next year. Since early this year the standardization of Rel-16 NR has started. Rel-16 NR aims to further enhance eMBB and URLLC services and supports more application scenarios such as V2X, Non-terrestrial network, unlicensed spectrum, integrated access and backhaul, positioning, and etc. In this talk, the key new air interface features of rel-15 NR as well as the motivation to introduce these new designs will be introduced. Then the progress of rel-16 NR will be presented. The potential new features and research topics for beyond rel-16 NR will also be discussed.
